(CNN) -- Craving romance this spring? Or simply a destination free of wedding bands, crying babies and the shackles of work?

Try the singles vacation, an increasingly popular travel trend catering to the nation's unmarried.

"The trips are social -- they're designed for travelers to meet people and make connections," said Mark Braunstein, who crafts dream destinations for Singles Travel Service. "It's a thousand degrees different from a dating service because you're involved in your passion. You're spending significant money to be at that spot and so is everyone else."

These five getaways give new meaning to "wander lust."

Montana (March 13 to 19)

If you're feeling cramped in your cubicle, Big Sky, Montana, provides more than 5,000 acres of outdoor escape. Singles Travel Service invites travelers of all ages to six days of skiing, hiking and drinking hot cocoa with other guests at the Lodge. Daily breakfast is served to fuel slope outings and, of course, slope flirting.

"This trip has generated six marriages," Braunstein said. "People who love to ski are excited to meet other people who love to ski."

The sparks will fly -- literally -- on All Singles Travel's featured hot air balloon rides in Turkey. After you peruse the Turkish skyline, top-rated clubs, restaurants and a guided tour await on the ground.

"Every year, our women are drawn to the Australian men," he said. "We've started several international flings."

The trip begins in Sydney, known for its beautiful beaches and vibrant nightlife. After five days of city exploration, travelers plunge into the deep blue waters of Cairns, the "Gateway to the Barrier Reef."

May the Great Wall of China be your path to ever-lasting love -- or at least the starting point of an unforgettable 15-day expedition.

On this trip, All Singles Travel leads you through Beijing to Tibet and every notable tourist attraction in between. Cruise the scenic Yangtze River, explore a Buddhist monastery and relax at four-star accommodations every evening.

Singles 45 and up can board the Ruby Princess, which sails from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, to the eastern Caribbean. Patrons may enjoy massages at an on-board spa before they join frequent singles dinners and cocktail parties. Multiple restaurants, activities and evening movies support eclectic tastes.
